6 passes in 2.5 months - thanks to Amber Book!
I graduated with my M. Arch in August of 2023 and began studying in November. Using Amber Book's 16-week study schedule, I booked all 6 exams within the span of two weeks. I passed 5/6 on the first shot, which was more than I had ever expected, and rescheduled my last one for the earliest possible date. The retake was a success, and today, 6 months after I first started studying, I have all the exams behind me!
Amber Book was the only study resource I used, apart from the NCARB practice exams. Michael Ermann & the Amber Book team have put together a course that is comprehensive, interesting, and makes even the most confusing concepts feel manageable. Instead of focusing on memorization, the course emphasizes understanding of the content - and it really does work! I felt confident coming into the exams, and was able to use common sense/process of elimination to comfortably answer even the most difficult questions.
For reference - I have 5 years of professional experience in the residential realm, and though my professional experience gave me a general familiarity with construction methodologies & building science at that scale, much of the content on the exams was new to me before taking this course (commercial building codes, ins and outs of building systems, practice & project management, among others).
Thank you, Michael & all the folks at Amber Book, for making this process so manageable and, dare I say, even enjoyable!
